Check Tire Pressure - BYD e6A Owner's Manual

Check Tire Pressure

Maintain proper pressure in tires.
For information on recommended cold tire
pressure and tire dimension, please refer to
Section 5-4.
Tips
The spare tire inflation pressure should be
420 kpa as required
You shall check the tire pressure every two
weeks, or, at least, every month. Spare tire
pressure shall also be checked.
Improper tire pressure may increase gas
consumption, reduce driving comfort, tire
service life, and pose danger to road safety.
If the tires need air filling frequently, please
contact BYD authorized service station for a
check.

Tips
Please keep standard tire inflation
pressure. Otherwise, the following
conditions may happen, and even cause
serious injury accidents.
Low tire pressure (insufficient air filling) --
● Excessive wear
● Abnormal wear
● Difficulty in operation
● Air leakage due to overheat of tires
● Deteriorated sealability at the edge of tire
● Deformation of wheel and/or
detachment of tire and wheel
High Tire Pressure (excessive air filling) --
● Difficulty in operation
● Excessive wear of center of tire tread
● Increased possibility that hard road may
do damage to tire
Follow the instructions below when checking
tire pressure:
● Check tire pressure only when the tire is
cold. The vehicle must be parked for over
3 hours, or driving no longer than
1.5 km, you may measure the exact tire
pressure readings.
● Tire pressure gauge must be used.
Judgment of tire pressure based on
experience may lead to severe error. In
addition, several pounds difference in tire
pressure may reduce driving operability
and comfort.
● Do not release air in tire or reduce tire
pressure after driving. It is normal that tire
pressure is higher after travel.
● Make sure valve cap is installed on tire. It
blocks dust, damp from entering tire and
prevents air leakage. Install a new one if
the valve cap gets missing.
